    Not sure if it will work for ROI tbh. Requires UK credit card and address. I chanced it anyway (Parcel Motel) but haven't got a dispatch email yet, even though plenty who ordered after me got one.

    Just chanced with PM address too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 661 ✭✭✭ncur


    Have tried to order also, had to use BT11AA as postcode for billing address, not sure whether that'll fly at all.

    Thanks anyway op, nearly bought this when it was on the Tesco bargain alert thread a week or 2 ago for €65, £30 definitely a better price, just hope I get it!

    I got that at lunchtime yesterday but nothing since. People in the UK who ordered after me yesterday are drinking their coffees today! I don't hold out too much hope that we'll get the machines over here.

    I would like to thank PM (for the NI address) and AnPost (for the £ currency card registered to the PM address) for allowing me to participate in this bargain.

    And obviously also thanks to odddavey for the tip.

    My Starbucks machine started showing signs of trouble so this came just in time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 562 ✭✭✭Kingkong


    Do you think this a better machine that a Nessespro, pods look expensive £12 for 8 cups.

    Whiles its only £10 if useless without the pods or can it take your own coffee.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,610 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Well guess I'm full of crap - got my dispatch email!

    I have a Nespresso as well which I'll be keeping for espresso. The Tassimo doesn't seem to be on the same level for espresso from what I can make out. Will use it for lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolate, etc; maybe even tea.

    Viking Direct have 16 for €8.69. Any other suggestions of where to get discs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,755 ✭✭✭degsie


    In for a punt using PM.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,243 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    order one there. We'll see what happens. Can you buy the disks in Tesco and what not?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,243 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    Just got order confirmation


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,003 ✭✭✭iggy


    Link to Facebook page not working for me?
    Is it expired?

    Working for me.

    Working for me.

    Had to change Facebook to desktop mode to get it to work on my phone.
    Will these fit in the lockers of PM?
    Ordered anyway. Cheers OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭irlgirl


    I'm debating this but the pods seem to be quite expensive is there generic pods around or anyone know where to get em cheap. Ive just looked on Amazon and there quite expensive.

    What Tesco store? I work in the biggest Extra in the country and I can confirm we don't sell the discs. I even quizzed the manager after checking the coffee isle after the last thread. Not there and never have been unless there was a box sent from the north by mistake.
    A pack of 16 coffee disc was around the 3.80 mark in Tesco in the North. Ebay seem to be selling them for more. Amazon is around 4.15 for 16. 3.79 in the Tassimo website. https://www.tassimo.co.uk/discover/t-discs/coffees/kenco-pure-colombian/908?productId=908513

    Worth it but. I would think Nespresso would be better . Although you may find they are both crap if you enjoy proper coffee made correctly. Definitely better 10 fold than instant though.

    Thanks

    I have ordered one but might have fecked up, I used the parcel motel as my billing address as well but I got an order confirmation page, no confirmation email but it seems like that they don't send that for a while anyway?

    I was asking the question do Tesco sell them

    Some posters on the Tesco bargain thread swear they got them in Tesco as well as the machine. Even in the store i work in, and the section I stocked.
    Im not saying they did not, but it strange I never seen them, whenever I was stacking the shelves at the time.
    So generally they don't stock them unless something new is coming down the line.
    Sending an email to head office asking them to stock the discs might help though. Im sure if they thought there was a market for them, they would be on sale.

    I'm in head office this afternoon. I'll see if they have a suggestion box!

    Can any one confirm if its the T40 or T4? HotDeals says its the T40 not the T4.

    It's the T4.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,243 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    any major differences in the models?

    Ah feck it it still a bargain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10 jendore

    Still on tenterhooks waiting for dispatch email, never thought of using Parcel Motel as billing as well as delivery address, and the prepaid currency card mentioned by another poster would also have been an excellent way around the postcode issue.

    Still have fingers crossed though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,888 ✭✭✭ozmo


    and £20 credit in vouchers

    Site says the 20 pounds of free coffee offer is expired since yesterday...

    user "smartdave" on the op's link has a good summary review of the coffees available on that thread - good since they are fairly pricey to be trying them all - most of the coffees don't sound very good by his reviews so might be waste getting this to use only for generic disks?

    Coffees:
    Kenco Medium Roast - Large Drink, too weak.
    Costa Americano - Even Larger, too weak.
    Kenco Cafe Crema - Slightly better than Medium Roast, slightly smaller with froth on top.
    Kenco Columbian - says it is fruity, yuk.
    Carte Noire Voluptuoso Kenya - Also fruity. Some days I think "Hmmm interesting", other days "Yuk".
    ....long list cut short...
    Mastro Lorenzo Crema INTENSO - DRINK IT EVERY DAY. Lovely, strong, great body.
    ....long list cut short...

    “Roll it back”

    There was a bargain alert here before about this. You can buy empty pods on amazon/ebay for pennies and put your own coffee in them. Good coffee bargains pop up here regularly.

    Not for Tassimo machines, I don't think...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,060 ✭✭✭Kenny Logins


    I suspect this machine may end up in the attic, alongside the Epson printer and Soda Stream...

    Not for tassimo as these machines read the barcode on the disc. I have a tassimo about six months now & I love it. I buy the discs on amazon using subscribe & save. I find the tassimo site is out of stock a lot of the time.
    Tesco I believe used to sell them before I got my machine but as far as I know the discs can't be purchased in the Republic (open to correction here).

    The £20 of free coffee is still available, its done directly on the tassimo site and is received when you register the machine

    Yep, thats it.

    I filled in my correct billing address but with the PM postcode. I didn't think it would work but it did.

    Same here. Used Irish billing address and PM delivery address.
    Am I right in saying the £20 free credit that u get when u register the serial number will not work anymore?

    seems to be still on the go


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,060 ✭✭✭Kenny Logins


    Just got my despatch confirmation. I only used my PM address.

    I don't remember asking for any billing address..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 661 ✭✭✭ncur


    Way hay! Got dispatch confirmation email also. I used PM for delivery, home address for billing, but using BT11AA as postcode as my usual attempts putting 'none' or '00000' or 'AA' didn't work.

    Thanks a million op, now must investigate buying pods, either subscribe and save from Amazon or try out refillable ones if available.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,243 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    if there is any links to refillable ones post here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,338 ✭✭✭NATLOR


    godtabh wrote: »

    Im fairly certain a refillable disc isnt available as the barcode on the lid is scanned by the machine to determine what product you are using and despenses the correct amount of water etc.Clever move by bosch, really ties you in to buying the discs whIch im sure is where they make their money!

    Hasnt stopped me buying one though :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,799 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    I have also received my dispatch email this evening. Tracking number says 2 day delivery so should have it in front of me by Saturday morning! :D

    (after PM process)

    I think the lorry from Belfast to Dublin on Friday night will be full of T4 machines.

    Has anybody gotten it via PM yet, I mean actually received?

    I'm slightly concerned that with packaging it is going to be over the allowed 41 X 38 X 64 cm for a locker and might require depot pickup or extra charge delivery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,003 ✭✭✭iggy


    Is anyone buying discs in advance or waiting to enter serial number on the tassimo site?
    Haven't a clue about these things as never bought discs or pods before.
